![]() ![]() ![]() I loved it so much that I hadn’t really played guitar in over twenty years, but I knew basic open chords, so I picked up the guitar again. I wrote half the songs as Shunt McGuppin and Matt wrote half as Mutt Taylor, his country music persona. So yeah, Superego released an album called The Journeymen: Mount Us More in 2013. ![]() I really could see either one of those being accurate. I think I just developed characters from that, maybe. I particularly enjoyed playing the British officers from the Empire, because I like that dialect. As a kid I liked being in my room with my Star Wars action figures and playing by myself. Having known you and hearing stories about you for years from people you used to perform with, you doing all these crazy characters is nothing new. For me it’s like I’m paying too much attention, maybe. On the other hand, he‘s not paying attention, which is probably part of the reason that nothing bothers him. I strive to just let things roll off of me more. He doesn’t get riled by much, which is not the case for me. He’s equally the better parts of me, and the worse parts of me. You didn’t mention Shunt McGuppin having a little of you in him. Particularly the Shunt sketches, but I think through most Superego sketches. My personal experiment and something I’m discovering more and more comedically is my whole life I kind of felt like, “No one’s paying attention,” so you’ll hear that kind of theme coming though. And then he’s oblivious, because of all the drugs, alcohol and relationships he’s had through life. Is that why he’s so dirty, because he’s part construction worker? He’s an amalgamation of my uncles, and guys I worked construction with when I was in high school, and Waylon Jennings, and maybe just a pinch of every rock star ever.

Then we edit it down to two or three-minute sketches and each episode is about a half an hour long. We improvise the whole show and then Matt Gourley edits it. Superego is an improvised sketch comedy podcast. Though Shunt himself wasn’t available for an interview, I was able to catch up with his alter ego, Jeremy Carter.įor those that don’t know, tell us a little about Superego. Superego has gained a cult following that’s slowly becoming more mainstream, and Jeremy along with comedians Matt Gourley and Mark McConville frequently feature some of the biggest names in comedy like John Hodgeman, Patton Oswalt, Kristen Schaal and some, like Erinn Hayes and the recently added Superego cast member Paul F. He came up in the KC improv scene and it’s no surprise to those that know him that it’s his strange and committed characters that have gotten him attention. Carter, a Kansas City native, is a friend of mine. Created by the character-driven maniac Jeremy Carter, Shunt and his gloriously filthy songs on this five track EP Bad Honky will make you laugh and maybe touch your heart… if not, then probably your bottom. ![]() Lending her talents to the massive Dimension track ‘Desire’ (5.5m Spotify Streams), her own material has also started to make waves with debut ‘Drown’ premiered exclusively on BBC Introducing Berkshire. With more music coming and new shows on the horizon, Cameron Hayes is a name you’ll be hearing more about very soon.Shunt McGuppin, the foul-mouthed, backwards country western singer from the popular podcast Superego finally has his own album and it’s everything you want it to be.

This song is basically sod what society wants and be whoever you want to be.” It’s about the balance and sometimes impossible expectations that will never leave you truly happy.
